lyrics:
—
if i walk out the door
it starts our last goodbye
if you don't pull me back
it wakes a thousand eyes
if i walk out the door...
it's gotta be cold with all those
it's gotta be cold with all those eyes
i'm so cold with all those
i'm so cold with all those eyes
i'm gonna be cold with all those
i'm gonna be cold with all those eyes.

FKA twigs (Tahliah)'s thoughts:
—
'thousand eyes'
"All the songs I write are autobiographical. Anyone that's been in a relationship for a long time, you're meshed together. But un-meshing is painful, because you have the same friends or your families know each other. No matter who you are, the idea of leaving is not only a heart trauma, but it's also a social trauma, because all of a sudden, you don't all go to that pub that you went to together. The line "if I walk out the door it wakes a thousand eyes" is a reference to that. At the time, I was listening to a lot of Gregorian music. I'd started really getting into medieval chords before that, and I'd found some musicians that play medieval music and done a couple sessions with them. Even on [2014] LP1, I had 'Closer' which is essentially a hymn. I spent a lot of time in choir as a child and I went to Sunday school, so it's part of who I am at this stage."
